I myself decided to get out when I heard an interview w/ the Navy Admiral in charge of Guantanamo Bay. He basically said Americans have to be willing to lose a few liberties and rights in order to be safe. What happened to "live free or die"?

But it is downright scary if it is because of the "foreign or domestic" part. I would have to believe the problem is not with the former but the latter part of that statement. I may not sleep as well after this. The future it seems, won't be needing any shades...
